摘要:
Methods for forming solder bumps on terminal pads of a semiconductor substrate for an integrated circuit device employ a solder bump transfer plate and a mask to form solder deposits on the plate. One embodiment of the invention employs a metal mask having a plurality of through holes for forming solder deposits on the solder bump transfer plate by vapor phase deposition through the through holes each area of which increases in step wise from the first surface of the mask to the second surface opposite to the first surface, thereby preventing solder deposits in the through holes from being removed when the mask is separated from the plate. Another embodiment of the invention is a solder bump transfer plate having a plurality of solder deposits on the surface non-wettable to molten solder both diameter and spacing of which are both smaller than diameter and spacing of the terminal pads on the semiconductor substrate, whereby a single solder bump is accurately formed on each of the terminal pads.

摘要:
An electronic component, such as an integrated circuit, includes one or more circuits with bumps extending in a longitudinal direction outward from the circuit. The bumps may be formed, e.g., by 3D printing, with at least one protrusion extending away from the longitudinal direction.
